June 29, 2015
Raymond L. Stark Jr. passed June 29, 2015, at nearly 94 years old. He was born Sept. 6, 1921, in Freeman, Cass County, Mo. He moved to Iowa where he worked as a first sergeant in the Civilian Conservation Corps and later worked for Convair Aircraft in San Diego where he met and later married his wife, Dorothy Whittaker, in 1942. He enlisted in the U.S. Army in 1944 and served in the Pacific, earning the Purple Heart medal. He later settled in Portland and became a key figure in Spokane Wrecking responsible for much of the postwar urban renewal in Portland. He continued in the brick business, working for Columbia Brick and Interpace Brick. He loved spending time visiting with friends and family, and fishing for steelhead at his little red cabin on the Kalama river. He was preceded in death by his wife, Dorothy; and son, Dale. He will be missed dearly by his daughter, Julie; grandchildren, Patrick and Jill; four great-grandchildren; and friend, George Cloud. A celebration of his and Dorothy's life will be held later this fall. Remembrances may be sent to the Wounded Warrior Project.
